I'm currently deployed in the Army, so I can't always be connected to the internet. I tried to start SiN Episodes in offline mode, and I got a message saying that it could not be run while in offline mode. Is there a way around this? Please help I'd love the play this game. Shadowgrounds does the same thing. Does the game have to be started at least once while online or something? That would be a pain but it would be possible. Thanks in Advance.

The very first time you start the game, it must unlock some of the encrypted files. In order to do this, you must be online to receive the "patch" to open it. After you've been online with the game once, you never have to be online again.
